The temperature in degrees celsius, c, can be converted to degrees fahrenheit, f, using the equation mc026-1.jpg. which statement best describes the relation (c, f)? it is a function because –40°c is paired with –40°f. it is a function because every celsius temperature is associated with only one fahrenheit temperature. it is not a function because 0°c is not paired with 0°f. it is not a function because some celsius temperatures cannot be associated with a fahrenheit temperature.

The correct answer is that it is a function because every Celsius temperature is associated with only one Fahrenheit temperature.

Explanation:
In this equation, degrees Celsius (c) is the independent variable and degrees Fahrenheit (f) is the dependent variable. This means all of our values of c will be the domain and our values of f will be the range. The definition of a function is a relation in which each element of the domain is mapped to only one element of the range; this means each Celsius temperature must be associated with only one Fahrenheit temperature. This is true, so this is a function.
